Words don't follow actions. Actions don't follow words. Both follow heart. Likewise, man doesn't follow the world, and the world doesn't follow man. Both follow God.

Do words follow actions, or should my actions follow my words? Neither, for actions would pull words down, and words would render actions insufficient. But my words and actions should follow my heart. In the same way, we don't follow the circumstances around us, the world, nor follow our beliefs, for circumstances would pull down beliefs and beliefs would never be played out for the insufficiency of circumstances. But rather, we follow the unseen and unspoken - God.
